[*] Chapin, Anna Alice. True story of Humpty Dumpty, how he was rescued by three mortal children in Make Believe Land. [**]$1.40. Dodd.
This brand new story of Humpty Dumpty is illustrated with “many delightful full-page colored pictures and black and white sketches ... by Ethel Franklin Betts. It is long, in prose, a history of the experiences of Meg, Bab, and Dick. The three are not the best children that ever were, they complain about always having eggs for tea—that is where Humpty comes in—and through this they have many novel experiences.” (N. Y. Times.)
[*] “It is a good modern fairy tale for very little folk.”
